Grammy Rumours: 15 Step + USC Marching Band?

That’s right, we’ve received some lovely rumours on the upcoming Grammy Awards Ceremony. No, no jury results have leaked… but Radiohead might be set for a surprising performance.

Where ‘House of Cards’ is the song Radiohead are expected to play, since the song itself is also nominated, it looks like the band are performing ’15 Step’ from ‘In Rainbows’. And we’d love to believe these rumours: Radiohead will be playing with the USC Marching Band. We’ve no confirmation on this yet, so we’ll just have to wait a couple of days to see it’s really going to happen. The ceremony is on February 8.

dont be so f*ckin judgmental, i agree with whoever said they trust radiohead to not do anything stupid. orchestration is great, 15 step is great, the band will be tight, all will be well. at least wait to see how it turns out, im much more excited about this than normal house of cards which i could watch on from the basement and be done with.
keep an open mind. i love radiohead, and im sure ill love this performance.

oh yeah, thats right, i started this rumor
WOOOO
im such an insider…
and its NOT a rumor.
its true.
i have facebook chatted with the girl in the USC drumline and they were in the studio with thom last night.

Bunch of babies…. stop f***in complaining… everything Radiohead does is shit for you guys? Let the band do what they want, let the band explore and experiment with new stuff, don’t matter if it’s shit or not, and after all you haven’t heard it yet… let the band grow…

Oh my god…whiners shut the fuck up. I never understood the self-important Radiohead purist bullshit. If you are a fan, watch the performance and be happy that the best band of our lifetime, and more importantly, good music is getting mainstream exposure. If you are upset by all of this, put on some headphones and listen to your Dutch 4 track of ‘Stop Whispering’ and wish for 1993 to return. Jesus Christ people, grow up…

that would absolutely SUCK. I would expect them to put a performance what with their tour lights and all, but a MARCHING BAND?? who are they now, Gwen Stefani or something?? On that note, I remember seeing a thing about how the Grammys love to put these sort of “offbeat” pairings for their show performance, so they probably had few options and this was maybe the less crappy one.

I just heard a rumor that Radiohead is gonna play Creep and dedicate it to all the Whiners on the Atease Board…Apparently Thom’s gonna say “Right, this one’s for all of the Atease Board twats, would you guys like some cheese with your whine??”

I wish they’d gone with someone else
It could be good,
But the USC conjures up cheesy Fleetwood Mac connotations
They’ll just be doing it for a laugh you know
It’s almost like a piss-take, taking the whole ‘big Grammy Awards performance’ to almost comical levels
Just them having a bit of fun, no need to be so judgemental

“I love Radiohead, I trust their instincts, and if you’re on this fan site then you usually do too, so quit hating and 15 Step off.”

That’s just ridiculous , we haven’t taken some sort of oath to stand by Radiohead with whatever they choose to do. I hate people who think Radiohead are imunine to any criticism, they’re not perfect they too sometimes make shitty decisions.
Just like they’re are some people here who think this performance is going be epic, there are also people who think 2/5ths of RH + marching band will be diastarous and incredibly cheesy,mmmmm’kay?

I dont care about the whole marching band thing hopefully it will be cool but i was hoping for them to play a song that would get all the band members involved like bodysnatchers or even reckoner just cause its amazing live.
